DANGER!

Risk of Electrocution

All electrical connections must be performed by a qualified licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electric Code 

(NEC) following state and local electrical codes in effect at the time of the installation. 

•  Connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will eliminate many of the spa’s built in safety features which may result 

in fire, electrocution, or other risk of injury. Damages to the spa which are the result of improper wiring are not covered 

under the manufacturer’s warranty and will terminate all listings from independent listing agencies. 

•  The electrical supply for your spa must be housed in a weatherproof junction box and include a suitably rated switch and 

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

 

between the main service entrance and the spa to open all ungrounded supply conductors 

in compliance with Section 422-20 of the National Electrical Code/USA, ANSI/NFPA/70 and in compliance with independent 

listing agencies. This might be used as a shut off switch, and must be installed so that it is accessible to the spa occupants, 

but not within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. 

•  The wiring specifications in this manual are for standard installations where the main power supply is within 40 feet of the 

spa. If the main power supply is more than 40 feet away, the electrician must make appropriate modifications. 

•  The electrical instructions and diagrams contained in this manual and inside the spa control box are included as a guideline 

for the licensed electrician installing the electrical connections and vary by model. Please refer to the wiring diagram inside 

the spa control box for model specific connection instructions. All wiring connections must be watertight.

•  All connections must be made using copper conductors only. Do not use aluminum wire. Connection wires, circuit 

breakers, and/or fuses, must all be sized to accommodate the Total Ampere load.

•  Never turn power on to the spa when it is not filled with water.

 

DO NOT connect power to the empty spa.  When power 

is supplied to the spa, it automatically activates critical components within the spa, such as the pumps, controls and 

the heating. If power is supplied to the components before it is filled with water, the components may be damaged 

instantly. Damage that occurs to the spa  because power was supplied before it is filled with water is not covered by the 

manufacturer’s warranty.

•  Prior to performing any service, turn OFF all primary electrical equipment at the main circuit breaker or disconnect panel.

•  Your spa must be permanently connected (hard wired) to a power supply that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit 

Interrupter (GFCI). Power supplied to your spa must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances, lighting, or other 

electronic components powered by the circuit.

•  Do not permit any electrical appliances like lights, telephones, mP3 players, radios or televisions within five feet (1.5m) of 

the spa unless they were built in by the manufacturer. Failure to maintain a safe distance may result in death or serious 

injury from electrocution if the appliance should fall into the spa.

•  Do not use head phones while using the spa

•  All metal components or accessories that are permanently installed, like handrails, ladders, drains and hardware that are 

within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa must be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors no smaller than 

No. 6 AWG. 

 

WIRING REQUIREMENTS FOR 240V SPAS

•  The minimum wire size for 40 and 50 amp systems is # 6/3 c/w ground (6 gauge/4 conductor) if the main power supply 

is within 40 feet of the spa. If the main power supply not within 40 feet, your electrician should make the appropriate 

modifications.

•  The spa must have dedicated 240V service from the main power supply.

 

Do not attempt to share service with other 

appliances. Use only a class ‘A’ double-pole Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

•  To access the spa controls, remove the cabinet panel and store it safely. Do not replace the access panel until the spa is 

filled with water and you are sure it is operating properly.
